This stunning @nytimes report shows that the FTC must crackdown on clear blatant violations by Facebook of the 2011 Consent Order, demanding major penalties, court orders, & other strong remedies.
The snail’s pace FTC investigation of Facebook’s illegal practices is becoming a bad joke. Facebook has defiantly violated its consent order. It’s impunity should mean tough remedies.
Congress must act promptly & powerfully next session with a strong privacy protection law that will protect against such intrusive, abusive misuse of consumer information. Hoping for renewed Commerce Committee hearings in early January!
